 Lyne Gamble
Lyne’s connection with Eagle’s Nest started when his eldest daughter went to camp for three weeks at the early age of six! “It was her idea,” he says, “and she called it right.” Now in her mid –twenties, she has remained involved with the nest, as have his other daughter and son. He has told many people that ENF has had a profound and positive impact on his children, and, as it happens the same applies to him. He has been a member of the Board of Trustees for many years—considerably more than a decade.
He was born and raised in a small community in the Mississippi Delta. In 1975 he graduated from Millsap College in Jackson, Mississippi, and soon after began admissions work at St. Andrews College in Laurinburg, NC. He then worked in admissions at Wake Forest University and switched jobs there to development activities. Lyne has since worked at Duke University, East Carolina University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Public Health, where he currently serves as the Director of Major and Planned Gifts.
Lyne’s interest in public health is considerable, as are his interests in politics, history, and literature. Experiential education is a unique way of learning, he says, and he “tries to be aware enough to use it effectively” whenever he can in his day-to-day life.
